When this spell is cast, a line of magical force is created from the wizard to any one creature psionically attacking or contacting the wizard, regardless of range. The psionic creature must make a successful saving throw vs. spell at a -2 penalty or be disoriented for 1d6 rounds, during which no psionics other than psionic defense modes can be used. The force also acts as a conduit for any enchantment/charm spell of 5th level or less that the caster has available (including scroll spells). These spells are cast normally, but range is ignored; the conduit allows the dweomer to reach the target creature regardless of distance. The creature is permitted any saving throw a subsequent spell allows.
A wizard with this spell memorized can cast it instantly in response to a psionic attack, as if using a psionic defense mode. A previously declared action can be changed to the casting of this spell. An immediate initiative roll is made. If the caster wins, the spell is cast normally. If the caster loses, the incoming psionic attack disrupts the spell.
The material component is a small, silver, U-shaped tube of fine craftsmanship (50 gp). The tube is consumed in the casting of the spell.
Notes: Uncommon for mentalists, rare for enchanters; otherwise, very rare. Optionally uncommon in the Dark Sun setting. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
